Power

Power vs. Powerless

Those who bleed power

want everything possible.

The farther they reach

the better they seem

in the eyes of their

followers.

They will bid for

full control of the sky

because those who

own the sky, own all.

They even own the

senses of those below

them.

No one is too great,

for what truly is greatness?

How does one hold the world

in the palm of their insignificant hand

and let electric fires run wild

across the surface, devouring the

souls of the weak and small.

Power is all that is needed to

be happy, they say.

Because if you do not have power,

what is your purpose at all?
